I built a component from an inf file, added it to the database, and then put
it in my image.

The problem is that a file in the component is missing from the target
machine. Does anyone have an idea as to why this would happen?

I looked at the component file list and the file does appear in the
definition, but when I look in the target machine, the file is not there.

When you imported the component to your Database, was it successful? If
these are new files, did you check the box "copy to repository root"? Try
re-importing and see if thre's a problem. If you are denied write access,
change the write permissions of the repository.

If the files aren't in the repository, they won't be added to the run-time
image.

Also, check the default paths in the component to make sure the files are
included in the proper location.

hope this helps

Jeff,

Even though the INF import gathered the information to create the component,
you still need to create a Repository for two reasons: 1. Component Database
Manager can create a repository to hold the file and 2. Target Designer
knows where to get the file when building the image. Without the Repository
there is no way for Target Designer to know the location of the file.
